Newsies is at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. I can see there is a
big fountain in front of Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.
Box office is at the middle
of the front door of Raleigh
Memorial Auditorium. And I
can see there is a red canopy
written “ Box Office”. The
line might be long, but the
box office staff will be serv-
ing me soon.

When I get my ticket from the box
office, I will enter the theatre and
give my ticket to the
usher.
The usher will look at my ticket,
and tell me where my seat is. I will
follow the usher’s direction and
walk to my seat.

I will find a seat that matches the number on the ticket,
and sit in my seat.

When the show is about to begin, the
theater will be dark; every one turns
their mobile phones in silent mode, and
everybody is quiet.
I need to be quiet during the show,
because I will not want to interrupt
others when they’re enjoying the show.
I will be hearing music at the
beginning. It might be a
little loud, but it won’t last too
long. I could put my hands over
my ears or use my headphones
if it is too loud for me. I will
hear and see a man start to
sing and act on the stage.

I am watching Newsies today. There
are some actors wearing costumes
singing, dancing and acting on the
stage. I can choose to clap when each
song ends to show the actors that I
liked the show.
Actors might get close to me during the show, but I just need to stay
in my seat. If I feel scared during the show, I may choose to hug my
family or friends.
8
After Act One, I will have a 15 minute break, which is called an
intermission. I can choose to use the restrooms, drink some water
at the water fountain, or just go to the lobby for relaxing.
9
After the intermission, everyone will come back to their
seat. The theater is getting dark again, just like the
beginning of the show. I know I will be quiet
and will finish watching Newsies.
10
When the show finishes, people may stand up and
clap, in order to let the actors know how much they
liked the performance. I know I can stand up and
clap if I really liked the show.
I had a good experience watching Newsies. I hope I can have a
chance to enjoy the next show in Raleigh Memorial Auditorium
soon.
